Use the crockpot to make this easily--it's foolproof!
It only takes honey, butter and nuts to make this toffee-like candy.
I'm counting this as a 3-ingredient recipe because the chocolate drizzled on top is "extra," though I'd deem it necessary. Chocolate and peanut butter AND butterscotch? Heavenly.
These truffles are kicked up a notch with the combo of Oreo cookies (for the crumbs) and Nutella spread (hazelnut flavor).
They're simple, but the three flavors of chocolate, almonds and sea salt are meant to be together. This recipe is extra fast because you use the microwave.
If you haven't tried making Oreo Truffles, they're so easy (and the kids love to lick their fingers afterward). I like this variation because I love minty chocolate, but any type of Oreos will work.
Because you can never get enough Oreo goodness, this easy fudge is a decadent treat that makes a great gift as well.
Kids can help with this one--so easy!
